ABSTRACT:
The protective fender includes a cushion body that has the shape of an elongated longitudinally cut half cylinder with an inner and an outer surface. The two edges of the inner surfaces include each a slap member that extends therefrom and embraces the dock posts. The slaps can be tailored to avoid the deck when embracing the posts so that a sufficiently large area above and below the deck can be protected to account for tide changes. Different embodiments for the fastening assemblies used can be implemented with laces, Velcro pads or snap buttons, all intended to keep the cushion body along the post at a position between the post and the approaching boat. The fender can be readily removed, when required.
